Abstract

An assembly for connecting a coaxial cable, with a conductive sheath and a surrounding insulating jacket, to a threaded male connecting port. The connecting assembly has a tubular fitting with a central axis and axially spaced first and second ends. The tubular fitting has a rotatable nut assembly at the first end to threadably engage a threaded male connecting port. The tubular fitting further has a cylindrical connecting body for engaging a conductive sheath on a coaxial cable. The tubular fitting further has a sleeve assembly around the connecting body. The sleeve assembly and connecting body cooperatively define a cable-engaging assembly and are configured so that an insulating jacket on a coaxial cable operatively connected to the connecting assembly is captively located between the sleeve assembly and connecting body. The rotatable nut assembly has a first shoulder and the cable-engaging assembly has a second shoulder. The first and second shoulders are selectively engageable to allow at least a part of the rotatable nut assembly to be pivoted around the central axis to bear the first shoulder against the second shoulder and thereby urge at least a part of the cable-engaging assembly in movement around the central axis.
